Pokédex Entry

Sun Pokémon

The tip of its forked tail quivers when it is predicting its opponent's move. Espeon has is the Eeveelution with a very high Special Attack. Magic Bounce which is its hidden abiility will reflect any status moves. Synchronize will make sure any of the opponents will also have the same status move OR Magic Guard which just prevents it from being harmed by status moves. Basically, its good against Pokemon who primarily inflict secondary damage. Anyways, its a pretty straightforward and very strong Psychic type.
